How to make the Tamil set in AppShotEditor

  1. Finish your source-language set first.
  2. Duplicate the project and name it with the locale code (ta-IN). AppShotEditor has no built-in translation, so paste in translated headlines yourself.
  3. Replace the screenshots with ones captured in Tamil (on iOS: Simulator → Settings → Language).
  4. Check line breaks on every screen; adjust where a word splits badly.
  5. Export at the same sizes and upload them in the Tamil localization.
